Hiking
There are no more huts / log houses on the entire site, only a few ruins and boards remind of different accommodations and dwellings. From the cemetery, the track goes back

It is impressive to stand at Dian Fossey's grave, buried among her favorite gorillas

Hiking
A great hike that requires fitness. At first quite steep, the same route that you also use for the Visoke Hike (volcanic climb), sometimes very narrow and thick stones, then the paths separate Use surefootedness to get to the former camp. The hikes may only be carried out with a guide, since the area is located in the Volcanic National Park / Rwanda
